The LabEX REVIVE is a consortium of research units focusing on fundamental biology of stem cells and their clinical applications. Many of the consortium activities rely on cutting edge imaging techniques. To foster, enrich and accelerate its research, the consortium seeks the help of an engineer specialized in Image Analysis for Life Sciences. The position is for a Pasteur facility engineer, 3-years fixed term until end of December 2019. It involves Service and Development activities. Importantly, a strong feature of the consortium activities involve the generation of very large images. The candidate is expected to help researchers with the challenges of large images manipulation, analysis and processing.

Mission:

Support researchers with their request in image analysis. Establish analysis pipelines, train researchers to use them, execute sensitive parts.

Design / implement software tools for quantitative image analysis and treatment. These will cover various fields such as fluorescence quantification, tracking, segmentation, and importantly large images manipulation and analysis.

Advise and train researchers on imaging analysis techniques.

Technical skills:

University degree (Master degree or, ideally, a PhD) or engineer school in Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics or equivalent qualification, specialized in image treatment and analysis.

Soft skills:

Pedagogy: train and support users with a set of technical skills orthogonal to theirs.

Ability to work within in very multidisciplinary environment: biology / microscopy / image analysis.

Communicate in English (oral, written).

Application procedure:

The formal application should be submitted by e-mail to: fschweis@pasteur.fr & tinevez@pasteur.fr . Suitable candidates are requested to submit a Curriculum Vitae, including full address, a contact phone number and email address, plus any document that might help with recruitment.
